The player who impressed me most with the Leopards is Trésor Mputu. His technical quality was extraordinary—no technical errors, whether in training or in official matches. Gems like him must be managed with great care for national pride. There's also Zola Matumona, who is of the same caliber, but more of a playmaker, while Trésor was more of a finisher... Mulumbu and Makiadi complete my list; those two guys fought tooth and nail in midfield. It was a real pleasure to play alongside them.

Mputu's record with the "Leopards"

The former TP Mazembe player made 36 appearances for the Congolese national team, scoring 11 goals and providing 2 assists.
